Terrible Scene in a Jail.

Early the same morning three Sioux In
dams named Finger-Nail, Sitting in Front,
and Pete Matthews, confined in the county
jail at Glendive, Montana, for horse steal
ing, made an attack on two white prisoners.
Their weapons were table knives, a
with which the Jail was sup
piled. After inf1icting mortal wounds on
one of the white prisoners Finger-Nail
and Sitting in Front hanged themselves in
their cells with their bunk straps. They were
assisted by the other Indian, Pete Matthews,
who, after they committed the deed tried to
butt his brains out against the wall of the
Tuttle and several other persons. The two
Indians who hanged themselves stabbed
themselves all over their bodies before
sorting to hanging.
Francisco Salamo, an Italian, who was
confined on a charge of burglary, was stabbed
in several places, and the county physician
did not expect him to live until morning.
stabbed and pounded over the head with
chairs in the hands of the Indians. He re-
gained consciousness late in the afternoon, and
only remembered that yhe Indians attacked
him with knives after which he became I'M
conscious. The doctor says he will recover
with proper care.
These Indians tried to starve themselves to
death several months ago, and after that re-
marked that they would not live to
be tried for horse stealing. The pris-
oners appeared jolly and contented the
previous evening when the janitor made
his rounds. They were allowed too
much liberty, neither one of the cells being
locked, only the outside door of the cage
They had access to all the cello, and the
Indians waited until they thought the white
prisoners were sound asleep.

WISE WORDS.

He who can surpass a moments anger
may prevent a day of sorrow.
A child is the brightest ray In the
sunshine of parents heart
Mind is power Educated mind is
intelligent, intensified power.
The seeds of love can never grow but
under the warm, genial influence of kind
feelings and affectionate manners.
The proper function of a government
is to make it easy for the people to do
good, and difficult for them to do evil
The most influential parents are those
who know how to share the enjoyments
of their children.
We blame Fortune for not visiting
US, whereas In many cases the fault
lies at our own doors IN doing nothing
to invite her in.
Experience is good school, but it
keeps us too long, and the tuition bills
are too costly for a fellow who Is in a
hurry for diploma.
A moderate understanding, with dill
gent and well-directed application. will
go much farther than a more lively
genius attended with that Impotence
and inattention which too often accom-
pany quick parts.
Though years bring with them wis
dom, yet there is one lesson the aged
seldom ever learn, namely, the manage
ment of youthful feelings. Age is all
head, youth all heart; age reasons, youth
is under the dominion of hope.
Kind words produce their own image
in mems souls, and beautiful image it
is. They soothe and comfort the nearer.
They shame him out of his unkind feel
ings. We have not yet begun to use
them in such abundance as they ought
to be used.

A Uruguay Dairyman.

One of the curious customs is the
manufacture of butter. The dairyman
pours the milk warm from the cow into
an inflated pig or goat skin, bitches it to
his saddle by long lasso, and gallops
five or six miles into town with the milk
sack pounding along on the road behind
him. Wheu he reaches the city his
churning is over, the butter is made, and
he peddles it from door to door, dipping
out the quantity desired by each family
with a long wooden spoon. -Harpe-'s

WESTERN TRAGEDIES.
Three Persons Killed i'm an At
tu.hpt to Arrest Thief.
White Prisoners Stabbed by Indians
In a Montana Jail.

Deputy Marshal Frank Dalton and j. Z.
Cole crossed from Arkansas into the Chero-
kee Nation the other morning, to arrest
horse thief and whisky peddler named Smith,
who, they were told, was at a tent on
the Alexander place, about mile and
half from Fort Smith. Arriving at the
tent, Cole rode upon one side, and Dalton on
the other. Seeing a man at the door of the
tent, Dalton inquired for Smith, who rushed
out, pistol in hand. Dalton said: q" Don't
shoot: want no trouble" But Smith fired,
shooting him in the left breast, inficting
mortal wound.
Dalton said: Il am killed." and fell from
caught at half cock. Cole shot Smith as he
turned to re-enter the tent. Then a woman
ran out with a child in her arms, and man
named Dixon followed her, Cole who
but his spur catching in a tent cord,
he tripped and fell. Dixon then fired at MIN
before he could rise, putting a ball through
his overcoat, and as he rose shot him through
the right breast. Cole tried TO shoot him,
but the woman caught his Winchester
Quickly jerking loose, however, he fired,
shooting Dixon in the shoulder.
He then backed to tree, and a regular
fight followed, in which the wife of Dixon
was accidently killed, and two bullets were
put through Coles coat and the bark was
peeled off the tree behind which he was
sheltered. Finding chance to escape

having run off during the fight,
and when he had gone short distance a man
came out of the tent, and approached Dalton,
who was badly wounded, and needless of his
piteous appeals for his life, fired two bullets
into his head, causing instant death. Smith
died from his wounds at three o'clock in the
afternoon. Dixon is now in the United
States Jail hospital
Lowrey, the man who finished up Dalton,
is still at large, but will probably be cap
tured, as all of the marShars force are
in pursuit and are securing the country
for him, acd every effort will be made to
catch him, as it is becoming too hot for
deputy marshals in the Indian Territory.

DISASTERS ON THE RAIL.
Fatal Collision On the Balti-
more and Ohio ROAD.
Three Men Instantly Killed and
Five Injured.

Two freight trains on the Wheeling di-
vision of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
were in collision near Cochran's Mills, fifteen
miles from Pittsburg, about 10:15 o'clock
the other morning. Both trains were almost
completely demolished and three men were
killed and five others injured. The killed
and injured are:
Harry Bell fireman, residing at Grafton,
West Virginia killed instantly.
William Peddiman, fireman. of Wheeling,
West Virginia. killed instantly.
Another man. name unknown, was buried
under the wreck
Peter Golf. brakeman on train, had his
right arm and thigh broken; his head was
badly cut and left leg fractured.
Thomas Gates, engineer, GlenwoOd, had
his head cut above the ear, and the ear so
badly lacerated that it hung by shre1s. One
of mis- toes was 50 badly mashed that it had to
be amputated.
Frank AAPplebee, engineer, residence Glen
wood; slightly cut about the top of the head.
Thomas L. McCann, fireman, residence
Hazewood; had scalp wound on the top of
his head.
There appear to have been no orders issued
rs TO which train was to lay over at Finley
vile for the other to pass The trains were
running at a high rate of speed and as they
rounded curve near COchran's Mills they
came into view too late to be checked. An
instant later they came together with terri
BILE crash. Both locomotives were lifted from
the rails and thrown TO one side completely
wrecked. The cars were all derailed and
smashed to pieces, and the debris piled up
high around the locomotives. The main
track was torn up for considerable distance
and blockaded.
There was not a moments warning, and
both crews were caught in the wreck. Three
of the trainmen were buried from sight and
almost instantly killed. The others were held
prisoners in the confused mass, and were
.extricated with difficulty. Peddiman's body
was taken to Wheeling and the injured were
brought to Pittsburg.
It is claimed by the company that the acct
dent was caused by the telegraph operator at
Finleyville failing to deliver the orders.
Two freight engines collided on the Sham
okin and Lewisburgh branch of the Reading
Railroad near Milton, Penn, the same
morning. The accident happened on a
bridge crossing the Susquehanna Canal.
The conclusion was so great that both loco
motives were thrown from the bridge into
the canal, twenty feet below Some ten or
fifteen cars were also wrecked, some of which
were piled up on the engines. The bridge
badly damaged. The advices do not
state whether or not any person was injured.

TIE situation on the L. ). Senatorsh Up
at Charleston is unique, and altogether
charming from Republican point OF view;
but to Democrats it must be intensely un-
pleasant and unsatisfactory. Out OF forty
nine Democratic members ut least thirty
eight, and perhaps more, are CAMDEN men.
This insures Mr.. CANIDEN,S nomination
whenever the members elect to hold the
caucus. But it is Just here where the dit
liculty arises. Mr.. J. NJ. MASON, rs the
leader of the anti-CAMDEN movement, IS
usiny the most extraordinary efforts to keep
those eleven Democrats who do not favor
Mr.. CAMDEN, out of caucus. All sorts OF
schcmius and Juggling are resorted
to blind their better Judgment
They recognize that it is the duty
of every Democrat to 20 into caucus. 1t
is in accordance with the traditions and
customs of the party ever since its torma-
tion. And vet to 20 into caucus means
the nomination Of CAMDEN. There II no
other man that has any large organized
following. Iudeed no other man who as
hires to To the office has had the courage to
come boldly out and make the race. Gov
WILSON is spoken Of . candidate, 80 also
i Hon. ID. Z. LUCAs. Neither Judge
ARMsroNG nor Judge Holt are candidates
in the sense OF seeking the Office. The
same we think, may also be said ot Hon.
J. J. DAVIS, although any OF these
gentlemen would not reject the OF
fer. 10 is more than probable
Messrs. WILSON and Lucas have made
some quiet effort for the nomination.
Gov. WILSON certainly has. Now, then
these two gentlemen show a strength oi
eleven votes, at the utmost, between them
to Mr.. CAMDEN'S thirty-eight. Mr.
Mason. standing on the platform OF any
timing to beat CAMDEN hopes to keel
these eleven Democrats from going into
caucus. and in order that he may keeI
them out and thus prevent caucus, he Is
working on MCSSfS. W lls~pN tsuu IL = ~ '''A'
all their friends with whatever energy ht
has, to keep these members from following
the bent of their inclinationS.
On the face OF the returns, then, Senator
CAMDEN is by far the strongest candidate
and must receive the nomination IT he Il
treated fairly. Members will, no doubt
in good time recognize this and insist thai
further opposition, or delay to the caucus
is idle and futile, and will, eventually
gracefully and readily yield to the ineVi
table
But pending this outcome the average
Democrat is stirred from center to circum
ference. He looks only to the success o
his party, and knows that all this anti
caucus business is simply so much gam u
the Republicans, who are chuckhng II
their sleeves over the situation, hence hi:
irritation and dissatisfaction.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January 15.-A
great many visitors at Charleston left for
their homes to-day, also some Of the mem-
berS Of the Legislature who had not far to
go, the recess till Monday giving them the
necessary opportunity. By Tuesday next
the crowd will thicken up again, and prob
ably continue until after the Senatorial
caucus.
There is talk of issuing a call for Tues
day, on which to hold the caucus, and a
paper will be put in circulation for sigma
lures to the call.
1t ismOre than likely Gen. Golf will be
in Charleston early in the week. At least
the Republicans have sent for him, as his
counsel is needed and desired. 1t is
further said that the General will be the
nominee of the Republicans for Senator.
The cold wave has struck the city, and
under its congealing influence the mud is
rapidly giving way to frozen streets and
rough roads, which is far preferable to the
other.
Collector John McGraw arrived this
evening.
Attorney General Alfred Caldwell may
return home tomorrow.
Everything is very quiet and Sunday no
doubt will witness large attendance OF
strangers and members to the places OF
worship.
The st. Albert continues to he the

still great, DIR. PeytOn, the genial and ac-
